When I click on an emoji on a text message sent to me, the sender also with an iPhone receives a text notification from me in Spanish. This started happening after the 18.1 upgrade. My Language & Region is English for the iPhone. I also have French, Portuguese, Swedish, Spanish and Italian. Could this be a new keyboard bug if you have multiple languages set?
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 18
The same thing is happening to me but the Spanish text is only showing up on Android phones. Messages between iPhone users works fine. This is making me, and my Android using friends, insane!

I removed Spanish from the languages in Settings and it fixed the problem. But now I have to keep adding Spanish back when I need it and turning it off again. Not an acceptable fix.
This exact thing is happening to me. I agree it must be a glitch due to the keyboard being able to type in English and Spanish. Android users also get the notification in Spanish. It’s driving my MIL crazy as she thinks she’s the one doing something wrong with her brand new Google phone. Should I tell her it’s on my end??😁
I updated my language in both the Language setting and the keyboard settings, which meant deleting my Italian from both. This makes learning Italian in Duolingo crazy, because now I have to manually add Italian each time I use Duolingo and then delete it afterwards, so that the emojis aren't crazy for my family and friends. Apple needs to do better.
If it was fixed, 18.3 update broke it again because non-iPhone users are back to complaining about my phone teaching them Spanish again. Do we have any new fixes?
Still happening after the update
This is happening to me. Spanish is NOT one of my languages. It’s so bad I’m going to switch to Android. Apples does NOT have a fix for this. Don’t reset your phone. Reset does NOT work.
No. It does not.
I'm having this issue and my phone is up to date. The recipient has an Android and got an Italian explanation of the exclamation marks emoji I reacted to his text. Still looking for a fix for this.
My text messages are coming across in English, but my "thumbsup" and "likes" are coming across in Italian. I originally thought it was only happening to Android users, but my daughter just asked the other day if my like was supposed to be in Italian! I'm on 18.3.1 and my iPhone language is English.I'm not getting rid of Italian because I use it all the time.....I just now let people know it's in Italian ha ha.
Same thing happened to me, except the recipient received my exclamation mark emojis in Dutch! My software is up to date as well!! Thought it was just Apple to Android, but my Apple Watch gave me Dutch options to respond in a text!! Please fix!!
iOS 18.2 fixes the bug.
I've updated to 18.2 and things seem okay. I also removed three other languages from my keyboard. Not sure if the OS upgrade and/or both helped.
iOS 18.2 fixes it
Odd. As soon as I installed ios 18.2 the problem disappeared.
